Radar Mag Folding Again, AMI Buys Website*

Gawker:
As rumored,
AMI has bought the
website RadarOnline.com, just as the print version of Radar
folds. That, incongruously, puts the site under the same
corporate umbrella as the celebrity mags Star and the
National Enquirer, which may now become off-limits for
mockery. The site will be "relaunched" in 2009. Judging from the
tone of the press release alone, the site could become far more
credulous in its celebrity coverage, and consequently less funny.
The effect on the RadarOnline staff is not clear yet; we'll fill
in details as they come. Full press release from AMI below:

American Media Inc. and Integrity Multimedia Company form joint
venture to launch a new and enhanced RadarOnline web site.
